Community Bus Stop

There is a bus stop directly in front of my house and I'd like to reserve part of my front yard to make install a comfy bench, community library, some art work, and other amenities for the community. Currently people including families and children are frequently sitting on the sidewalk or steps behind the bus stop while waiting for the bus and this would make it a more enjoyable and colorful bus waiting experience. The bus stop is on a very busy street next to 3 hospitals and 2 universities so it gets a lot of use and street exposure.
